Chapter 13 Memories (Part 2)
Li Jingming gradually couldn't control his emotions again. Ruan Zhan walked over and patted him on the shoulder, indicating that he was calm. Xiao Xia's tears were about to flow out when she heard Li Jingming's mother visiting relatives. Although she didn't know what Li Jingming's behavior in accusing his wife and family was related to this case, she sometimes needed this kind of inspirational inquiry and active listening, and could not make a judgment too early.
Li Jingming took a deep breath, forced her tears to go away, and sorted out her thoughts and continued: "More than a month before this incident, our whole family planned to avoid Golden Week and go to City A for a trip to the ancient town in the southern part of the country. But at this time, I learned that a message from my hometown came to say that my mother was sick. Of course, I had to go back, and my wife was very unhappy and thought that I had delayed the whole family's plan. But this time I had a very unknown premonition, and although she didn't want to go back, she could not stop me in theory, so I could finally go home. But except for giving me some travel expenses, she didn't get anything, and her son didn't let me take it, so I had to go and sell blood. But when I got home, my mother could no longer use it.
After the matter was completed, I rushed home immediately, but she still felt that I had been delaying for a long time and forced me to prepare for the trip immediately. My mother passed away, so I was not in the mood, but I couldn't resist her, so I had to bear the pain and obey. Maybe I was in a bad mood when I booked a hotel online. There was a problem when I was booking a hotel online. When we arrived, we found that there was no room we booked at all. At this time, there was a coincidence that there was a big tour group that also wanted to avoid the Golden Week, so there was no empty room. We could only leave the only three-star hotel in the local area and stay in a small hotel converted from a private house, the name was Ye Yuan. For this matter, our whole family treated me as a sinner. Then something happened."
Li Jingming's face showed a look of fear, "I was in a bad mood at that time, and felt ashamed of my mother who gave birth to me and raised me. And to be honest, that was the first time I felt that I hated my wife and their whole family, even my son, because he was too deeply influenced by them and looked down on me, a cowardly and useless father. I hated them for making my mother insulted and made me have no dignity; I hated them for letting me know the news that my mother was sick very late, and made my mother not see it even before she died.
When I saw me, I didn't see my grandson, and I died with my eyes open; I hated them forcing me to do what I didn't want to do when I was saddest, as if the one who died not long ago was a person who had nothing to do with me; I hated them for being hypocritical in front of others, but behind them were selfish, cruel and narrow-minded; I hated them for everything they did to me over the past eighteen years, and I was so at that time that I really hated, so hated that I never found that hatred was such a strong emotion, so hated that I wanted to kill everyone was over.
That was the first time I quarreled with my wife, and vented the resentment I had over the years. My wife was used to being strong and could not tolerate me rebellion. So the more we quarreled, the more we became, the more we were. My parents-in-law and my aunt also came to help my wife. I don’t know what was wrong, but in the end, they beat me together, and it was useless for the owner to persuade me. In fact, their family is a cultural person after all. Although they always come to be a little bit evil, they never commit violence publicly, let alone the whole family is still there.
I was beaten to the point of bruising and swollen at night to sulk by the river not far from the house. At that time, I had nowhere to vent my anger and resentment, so I told the anger that could not be extinguished to the reflections in the river. I nagged for a long time, and finally felt a little relaxed and said, "I hope I can cut off all the heads of their whole family and feed them to the dogs!" In fact, I was just so angry, but at this time, a sharp male voice in the water replied, "I will do what you want!"
I was frightened and crawled back to the hotel and asked if the kind-hearted shop owner was haunted for me. The shop owner said firmly that there was no, and was very angry that I blamed me for talking nonsense and smashing his sign. I saw that he was so sure, so I felt a little relieved and felt that I was so angry that I had hallucinations. Then the shop owner helped me deal with the injuries on my body, and persuaded me a few more words before sending me to the room upstairs. At that time, no one paid attention to me, and of course I would not pay for my travel expenses. Although there were more than a dozen rooms in the hotel and we lived in this time, I had no money to open another room, so I had to sleep in the attic.
I was angry and tired, painful and hungry, and the attic was dark and wet, so I couldn't sleep well until midnight when I suddenly heard the sound of dripping water, which was like light rain and something leaking. Strangely, I could see the stars in the skylight of the attic, and the sound seemed to be coming from outside the door.
I remembered the incident by the river and was so scared that I didn't dare to come out of the bed, but the sound did not stop, but became louder and louder, and finally turned into the rushing sound of the river, as close as if I was lying by the river. I knew that other people in the hotel must not hear this, it came to me, and it would not stop if I didn't open the door, so I had to pluck the courage to open the door.
There was nothing outside the door, it was just that it was abnormally dark, and then I felt the sound of dripping water coming from behind me again. I was so scared that I was frozen there and could not move, but the door was autistic with a "bang" sound. I forced myself to turn around slowly. Although it was very dark, I obviously saw a large pool of water stains beside the bed, but it was obviously dry. Then, a pair of wet footprints stretched towards me step by step, as if something was walking towards me and standing in front of me.
I mustered up the courage and asked tremblingly, "Who are you?" but I was afraid of it answering, but it answered. He said I helped him, so he wanted to help me realize my wish and cut off my family's heads. I was shocked and said that I didn't know what I helped him, but I was just angry just now and didn't want to kill my whole family, and it was such a cruel method. Then I said a big cliché, not knowing what it was, but I was so afraid that I just wanted to find something to say, saying that people are not grass and trees can be ruthless. Although my wife's family is not very good to me, it is a family after all, and I have lived together for so many years, so how could I have feelings. I just want it to leave.
